A billion dollars of tokenized funds can sit inside a small set of issuer accounts. On the other hand, a million retail users, each running active strategies that create trust lines, offers, and other objects, can lock far more XRP in aggregate.

Meanwhile, there is another nuance that matters for anyone trying to model scarcity.

XRPL lowered reserves in December 2024 to improve usability, reducing the bond-demand effect that reserves create. Base reserve dropped from 10 XRP to 1 XRP, and owner reserve dropped from 2 XRP to 0.2 XRP.

In recent times, XRPL is not competing only against other crypto networks. It is competing for a seat in a global settlement stack that already includes stablecoin networks, bank consortia, and state-linked rails.

Cross-border payment flows have been estimated at hundreds of trillions of dollars annually, with projections rising to $290 trillion by 2030 in widely cited industry research.

Bitcoin steadies as Iran reopens Hormuz but Trump keeps crypto‑fuelled oil squeeze


Iran’s move to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz while Donald Trump keeps Iran’s ships under blockade has left oil and Bitcoin trading the ceasefire headline by headline.

Iran’s announcement that it has fully reopened the Strait of Hormuz has eased the worst energy shock fears, but President Donald Trump’s decision to maintain a US naval blockade on Iranian ships and ports has kept oil and crypto markets on edge. Around 20% of the world’s oil normally moves through the strait, making it one of the most important chokepoints for global energy and a key macro driver for Bitcoin’s ($BTC) role as a geopolitical hedge.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on X that the waterway is now “fully open” to commercial vessels, signaling Tehran’s willingness to restore flows even as a fragile 10‑day truce between Israel and Iran‑backed Hezbollah in Lebanon holds. Trump initially echoed that tone, posting that Iran had declared the strait “fully open and ready for full passage” before reversing minutes later and insisting the blockade will continue “UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN IS 100% COMPLETE.”

Hormuz reopening meets unresolved U.S. blockade

Trump first ordered the blockade earlier this week after Iran partially restricted traffic through the strait, a move Washington framed as a breach of the Pakistan‑brokered ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran. At the time, Trump said the navy would enforce an “all or none” policy, effectively turning Hormuz into leverage over nuclear talks, tanker insurance and any attempt by Tehran to monetize exports via schemes such as the mooted $1‑per‑barrel crypto‑denominated toll reported in an earlier crypto.news story.

Le Monde reports that direct talks between the US and Iran last weekend were inconclusive, with “

How Strategy Built Its Massive Bitcoin Position

Michael Saylor built one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holdings through consistent accumulation. His company, MicroStrategy, started buying Bitcoin in 2020.

The firm used a mix of cash reserves and debt financing to expand its holdings. This bold approach transformed MicroStrategy into a proxy for institutional Bitcoin investment. Investors began treating its stock as a leveraged Bitcoin play.

This strategy faced criticism during market downturns. Many questioned the sustainability of such a concentrated bet. However, Saylor maintained confidence and continued to accumulate during dips. Now, as Bitcoin approaches the company’s average entry price, that conviction faces a real test.

Strategy shares surge above $170 amid Bitcoin price rebound


Strategy Inc., the company formerly known as MicroStrategy that has essentially become a publicly traded Bitcoin fund, saw its stock price climb near $170 on April 17. That’s a 15% daily jump that pushed shares decisively above the $160 level for the first time in weeks.

The move comes as Bitcoin itself recovers from a bruising dip to roughly $74K earlier this month. For a stock with a beta of 3.56 relative to Bitcoin, meaning it tends to amplify $BTC’s moves by more than three times, the rebound was predictably dramatic.

The numbers behind the bounce

Here’s the thing about Strategy: it’s not really a software company anymore, despite what its legacy business might suggest. The company now sits on approximately 780,897 $BTC, valued at around $58.96 billion. That makes it the largest corporate Bitcoin holder on the planet by a wide margin.

The average cost per coin across that massive war chest is roughly $75,580. In English: at Bitcoin’s recent low of $74K, the entire position was briefly underwater. Not a comfortable place to be when you’re holding nearly $59 billion in a single asset.

Strategy didn’t just ride the dip out passively, either. The company scooped up an additional 4,871 $BTC in early April for approximately $330 million, paying around $67,718 per coin. That’s buying aggressively while the market was in freefall, a move that either looks genius or reckless depending on where Bitcoin goes next.

For context on just how fearful the market has been: the crypto Fear & Greed Index sat at 12, deep in “extreme fear” territory, for 47 consecutive days in early April. That’s nearly seven straight weeks of maximum pessimism. The last time the index lingered that low for that long was during the 2022 bear market.

Against that backdrop, anyone who bought Strategy shares during last
